I have not read Kiersten White’s other stories but added them high up on my to-be-read list. The setting completes the ambiance and adds to the horror story. The development of the characters allows you to root for a favorite and decide who you want off the island next.


I found myself reading it in one sitting because I did not want to put it down. She lives with her family near the ocean in San Diego, where they obsessively care. Doing so made all of the chapters much longer than in most novels, but it is an interesting way to define the passage of time. Kiersten White is the 1 New York Times bestselling, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of many books, including the And I Darken series, The Dark Descent of Elizabeth Frankenstein, Star Wars: Padawan, the Sinister Summer series, and HIDE. She succeeded in her goal.Įach chapter covers one whole day of the competition. White said she did not want this to be a YA book but a horror novel. White’s game is set in an abandoned amusement park where not everyone will make it out alive. The real contest has rules and safety measures in place. For Kiersten White’s latest novel, Hide, she came up with the concept of a hide-and-seek contest by basing it on a real competition. The opinions are entirely my own, and any quotes are taken from the ARC and may be different in the final published copy.Ī fun week-long competition playing hide-and-seek where the winner gets $50,000 sounds too good to be true. I was provided with a complimentary copy of this book so I could give an honest review.
